The mid-variant of the premium Samsung Galaxy S22 series is the Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G. The phone sports a larger display than the base model and is still smaller than the Ultra variant. The new Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G packs a similar curved frame and is available in Green, Phantom Black, and Phantom White colors. The phone packs a large 6.6-inch full-HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display on the Galaxy S22+ with support for a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s a premium offering but skips the S Pen support as seen on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G gets its power from the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chipset, just like the other two models. The processor is paired with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage, just like the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G.

Here, users get the same 50MP primary shooter with an f/1.8 aperture and OIS or optical image stabilization support.

The camera supports 8K video recording, making it one of the best camera smartphones in India.

Rating a smartphone is a tedious process and a lot of parameters have to be considered before judging the overall performance of the device such as display, camera, processor, RAM, storage, battery, and the pricing.
So, here are how these specs will affect the real-life usage of a device and why how we meticulously consider each of these points to rate a smartphone.
Cameras have evolved a lot over the last few years and multi-camera setup is a new norm. We consider various parameters like MP count, aperture size, pixel size, image stabilization to rate a camera system of a smartphone out of 5. Any device that scores more than 3.5 can take good photos and videos and if a phone scores over 4, then it will be one of the best camera smartphones in the market.
Though battery seems like an underrated feature and we look at the battery capacity, fast charging supporting technology, and even the wireless charging capability is also taken into consideration to rate smartphone's battery capability.
The display is the face of a smartphone. And there are a lot of parameters like the panel technology (IPS LCD, OLED, TFT) and other parameters also taken into consideration like the resolution, pixel density, and refresh rate.
A smartphone could have great specs, but if it is not priced well then you might not get the best value-for-money. So, we compare a smartphone with the contemporaries to rate the value-for-money of a device out of 5.
This aspect is decided on various sub specifics, such as availability of microSD card slot, the amount of RAM the device offers, processor capability, and the network support. This parameter has more weightage when compared to other departments.
